Concept: The inward-turned Self (bhūtātman/antaryāmin) is directly seen by yogins; that vision corresponds to the supreme abode whose nature is mokṣa and which is the very form of the Supreme Brahman.
Application: Daily inward-turning: japa, breath-awareness, ethical restraint (yama/niyama), and offering actions to Viṣṇu; reduce outward scattering to cultivate steady inner seeing.
